A Conjunction Which Makes us Reflect Part – 2 by Rodica Purniche

Article by Rodica Purniche, Romania

The Jupiter – Lilith Cycle

The planetary cycles represent the necessary time for two planets to make all the aspects between them. A planetary cycle is in its increasing phase from the conjunction to the opposition of the two planets and it is in its decreasing phase from the opposition to a new conjunction of the two planets.

Astrology has analyzed only the planetary cycles proper, namely the aspects made by the planets with each other. We do not remember any energetic cycle to have had been presented until now. Under the name of “energetic cycle” we understand the cycles made, for example, by Neptune and Kiron (a planet and an asteroid), or by what  we want to discuss now, Jupiter and Lilith (a planet and a mysterious heavenly body). All of them are energetic cycles, but we will do our best to differentiate between planetary cycles and the cycles mentioned before.

Lilith indicates one of our major shadows or life-lessons which we do not manage to assimilate, the behavioral mistake which we keep making until we become aware of it and transcend it. The mythological sources present it in a very unfavourable manner and the modern literature has integrated it in the category of vampires and demons. Maybe Lilith represents something “sinful”, but who allows us to consider it in such a way? Our civilisation has already lost the sacred meaning of sexuality and the real center of the human being, so Lilith could mean anything! Beyond any consideration, Lilith is the hidden, mysterious and fascinating charm of every woman; the pure attraction and the desire in its virginal condition. It is the uncontrolled desire made active by the fundamental instinct of life which it contains and which makes the coincidentia oppositorum fulfill, cancelling time, space, limits due to the totally liberating and perfect erotic fusion.

Personal observation is the best teacher and the most precious help in understanding the secrets which survived in time to this day, without any theoretical basis. Both the present comments and those made in the previous article – Lilith – A Myth which Needs Reinterpreting – belong to us and are the result of approximately 10 years of observation.

Astronomically, Jupiter represents the biggest planet of our solar system. It gives more warmth than it receives and has the the largest number of satellites (64). The last spiritual messages from the subtle worlds say that Jupiter is about to become a small solar system. From this point of view, Jupiter becomes the perfect symbol of the spiritual teacher, of the chances, of all that is beneficial or auspicious in our life. Both the ancient and modern astrologers have concluded, probably as a result an analogy with its physical characteristics, that Jupiter is “the grand benefic”. It represents, in a natal chart, not necessarily the richness but the abundance, all what is saved and is the source of our material security, the protection, the quality of “plentiful”. The place occupied by Jupiter in the natal chart indicates the life area where we tend to lose the sense of measure. The Sign and the House which Jupiter transits are likely to amplify their resonances, it does not matter if there is something good or bad there. That is to say, Jupiter intensifies whatever it finds in our life, in one area or another, corresponding to the resonances created by us along our existence.

The conjuntion represents the aspect made by two or more heavenly bodies which occupy the same degree of a Sign, in the limits of an orb of ±8° towards the moment of their perfect superposition. At the same time it is the major dynamic aspect due to which the two/more heavenly bodies tend to behave as if they were one or, on the contrary, as if they were enemies of more or less equal value. Due to such features, the conjunction is a very powerful complex energy which could be felt by us as an inner force or, on the contrary, as a dual inner state, which, for a while, we are unable to solve in one way or another.

The complex conjunction is the dynamic major aspect made by:

-planets of a different “quality” – for example, Mercury (considered a personal planet) and Uranus (considered a trans-personal planet)

-a planet and an asteroid – for example, Neptune (a transpersonal planet) and Chiron (an asteroid)

-a planet and one of the Moon’s Nodes (in the Western astrology, the Moon’s Nodes are not considered planets) *

-a planet and any kind of heavenly body, be it a physical or a mysterious one.

In our case, the Jupiter-Lilith conjunction is a complex one, because it is made by a planet and a mysterious heavenly body. In today’s astrology, this mysterious heavenly body belongs, together with Kiron and Juno, to the category named “the Minors”, which includes the asteroids. Jupiter will intensify the subtle astral influx of Lilith in the place where this conjunction will be. Both of them will make an energetic complex which will “filter” or modulate in a certain way the characteristic energy of the zodiacal Sign which they transit. For the low speed heavenly bodies, a major astrological aspect (as the conjunction, the square and the oppositions are) runs its course on a 16° surface (±8° towards its moment of maximum), so we expect this conjunction to be one of a long period: both Lilith and Jupiter transit a Sign at relatively the same speed: Lilith in 9 months and Jupiter in 12 months.

The relationship between them has to be understood both positively and negatively. The energies come neutral in our life from Macrocosm. It is US who give them the meaning of “good” or “bad”, who place them downwardly (negatively) or upwardly (positively).

*In Vedic astrology too they are called the shadowy planets and not as planets. The Brihat Samhita is clear that they are shadow of Moon and earth and not physical planets.

Statistical data

We mention from the very beginning that absolutely all our researches use the computation methods typical for our time, and that there could be some errors regarding  the previous centuries before the XX-th one.

From the astrological and astronomical point of view, the analysis of the Jupiter-Lilith cycle and their conjunctions has led us to the followings conclusions:

1.the Jupiter-Lilith cycle lasts approximately 34 years

2.their conjunction lasts approximately 4 years, ± few months, without being constant during its duration

3.the couple transits 1 or 2 Signs both before and after the conjunction(s) is/are produced, but without realizing any conjunction in the years which “open” and “close” the period of conjunction(s)

4.only 2 of these 4 years are actually efficient for the producing of the conjunction(s); the bordering years “open” and “close” the conjunction(s)

5.along the effective years, Jupiter and Lilith make 3, 4 or even 5 conjunctions

6.most of them are produced while Jupiter is in the apparently retrograde motion

7.often, the conjunctions occur in two zodiacal Signs but there are situations when they occur on the same zodiacal Sign

8.in long periods of time, the conjunctions occurs in 3 zodiacal Signs

9.the conjunctions “go” forward, as we can see below:

-for the period 1804-1808 the conjunctions took place in the Signs of Virgo and then of Libra

-for the period 1838-1842 the situation repeats itself

-for the period 1873-1877 the conjunctions took place on the Sign of Leo, then in the Signs of Virgo and Libra

-for the period 1908-1912 the conjunctions were in the Sign of Leo, then again in Leo and then in Virgo

-for the period 1943-1947 the conjunctions took place in the Signs of Cancer, Leo and Virgo

-in 1977-1981 they were in the Signs of Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo

-in 2010-2014 the conjunctions take place first in the Sign of Taurus, then again in the Sign of Taurus, then in the Signs of Gemini and Cancer, and in the end again in the Sign of Cancer

10.there are 4 periods during which the Jupiter-Lilith couple makes 5 conjunctions per  period; after them, the number of the conjunctions decreases at 4 and then at 3 for each period; probably the number of the conjunctions depends very much on the couple’s transit through the long or short ascension Signs.

The present conjunction Jupiter-Lilith opens the 5 periods during which, until 2120, the couple will make 5 conjunctions per period.

It covers the interval between 13.09.2010 – 28.11.2014 in the following way:

-13.09.2010-22.01.2011 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Pisces

-23.03-4.06.2011 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Aries

-16.12.2011-11-06.2012 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Taurus, which they realise 2 conjunctions in:

-20.12.2011, at 00°23’ Taurus, while Jupiter is in the apparently retrograde motion

-17.03.2012, at 10°07’ Taurus

-12.09.2012-9.06.2013 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Gemini, which they realise 1 conjunction in:

-12.12.2012, at 10°05’ Gemini, while Jupiter is in the apparently retrograde motion

-26.06.2013-4.03.2014 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Cancer, in  which they realise 2 conjunctions:

-12.07.2013, at 03°36’ Cancer

-01.12.2013, at 19°32’ Cancer, while Jupiter is in the apparently retrograde motion.

-from May to November 2014, both of them transit the zodiacal Sign of Leo, in which they do not realise any conjunction, splitting the couple until the new beginning of their new cycle which begins approximately in 2048.

Possible spiritual significations

Generally speaking, the Jupiter-Lilith conjunction “covers” 6 zodiacal Signs in the interval of 2010-2014 – namely half of the Zodiac. Even if they do not realise any conjunctions in the Signs of Pisces, Aries and Leo (the bordering Signs of their conjunctions) their presence in them is enough for us to be warned about  our possible: dual inner states, failed chances, spiritual initiations very important for our life.

For most of us, the Jupiter-Lilith conjunction may announce that a happy or pleasant event could be accompanied or followed by an opposite one. Or, during this conjunction, we have to face either a life lesson or a spiritual test, which could have the nature of the Sign where the couple is.

For the people already engaged on an authentic spiritual path, the Jupiter-Lilith couple announces important spiritual tests concerning the guru-disciple relationship or our true faith in God. In such periods the disciples are very much supported at the subtle level by their spiritual guides/gurus to confront themselves with their dark side or to exorcise the demoniac entities which are thrown out from their energetic aura for ever.

In the texts below we offer you possible understandings of this complex astrological relationship between Jupiter and Lilith. We consciously emphasize the predominantly positive aspect of the conjunction. We have to realise that our possible spiritual jumps could amplify the beneficial planetary aspects, and many of our prejudices and mentalities could be left behind for new understandings to take their places, in a good sense.

13.09.2010-22.01.2011 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Pisces

During this interval, it is possible that people may experience many spiritual confusions. They could be manipulated very easily by the world’s  occult powers of malefic orientation. At the subtle level, the struggle between Evil and Good Forces  could be very strong. It is possible for many disciples to betray, to deny or to leave – even for ever – their spiritual guides; those who keep themselves very close to their gurus, could pass through apparently insignificant lessons which, from the divine point of view, will test if they really have obtained spiritual qualities. Art, culture, health and education could experience long periods of crisis but, when a success appears  in one field or another, it could be very close to the absolute. During such an interval, we have to learn the correct measure in our speaking, how to keep our pure, firm and profound/deep faith in God our Father and how to maintain a healthy and positive thinking.

23.03-4.06.2011 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Aries

They say that Jupiter in Aries makes people act before they think, so that many of us tend to act first and then to ask themselves whether or not what they did was right. Taking into account such a predisposition, during the just mentioned period, the events can resemble “the Scottish showers”. Because Aries is a Sign of The Beginning, many people could search a way of evolution – be it an artistic, intellectual or spiritual one. Many people could feel the need for efficient, clear and concrete spiritual teaching but, at the beginning of such a path, many of them could experience confusion, lack of attention or patience in discovering the essences of spirituality. The physicians and the healers could compete with each other in an unpleasant manner. The gifted priests could perform successful exorcisms and many therapists could appear as the missionaries of the ancient unconventional medicine. The spiritually advanced beings will make very important jumps towards their perfect accomplishment. It is possible, too, for the spiritual guides to reveal to us information and divine truths of an exceptional quality. The disciples could be overwhelmed by the received teachings and spiritual initiations.

16.12.2011-11-06.2012 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Taurus

During such an interval it is possible for us to have many material achievements, to acquire many material goods and the immediate necessities of life. In the Sign of Taurus the Earth Pyramid will be for a very long time activated by Mars in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter/Lilith conjunction in Taurus. Venus in Taurus between the 5^th and the 23^rd of March could make us feel overwhelmed by the material things/objects/interests and lose sight totally of the other needs of our being, and especially the spiritual level ones. It is possible for us to be fascinated by the illusion of the material achievements, it is possible for us to work very much (many of us could become exhausted) and to delay our spiritual needs in a stupid manner. At the same time we could be the witnesses of very important financial movements, even at the planetary level, they could be rough speculations, unimaginable defalcations or money laundering in dirty activities. Beyond all these a Divine Grace could protect the real values of the humanity. The spiritual guides have to be very much protected, because they could be subject to all kinds of dangers directed towards their physical being and their moral integrity. Health could become a priority for all of us, and the natural treatments and the spiritual techniques of healing could be highly successful.

12.09.2012-9.06.2013 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Gemini

During this interval there are very important major mental and intellectual values, all kinds of changes between two different parts/qualities and generally the knowledge. The spiritual guide-disciple relationship could be like a teacher-pupil one, and could take any form, from the stupid contesting of the guide’s teachings to their blind acceptance. Many disciples doubt the value of the teaching which they have received and they could judge it after their narrow minds. At the same time, they could be disciples able to elevate the assumed spiritual teaching, either by their spiritual results or by revealing the very, very old roots of the great and authentic spiritual traditions of the world. The journalists could choose if they want to maintain their position as puppets in the hands of a political power or if they really put themselves in the service of the civic and moral recovering of the human society. The spiritual guides could reveal and offer us the divine initiations and secrets of unexpected purity. Many of them will assume the risk of proving the gaps and the mistakes/lies/false interpretations in the Holy Bible, generating an uproar among the clergymen. If we take into account that both the Sign of Pisces and the Sign of Gemini are occupied by Neptune and Jupiter respectively, we could expect that the very Church is the place of unpleasant political tensions or the Church would rather serve the political devil than the people. Education, health, banks and human relationships could experience very confusing moments. The spiritual initiations based on long time spiritual techniques could save the planets and could amplify the communication with the angelic worlds.

26.06.2013-4.03.2014 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Cancer

During such an interval it is possible for many people to be directly afflicted in their inner being, traditions, spirituality. Generally speaking, the human society tends to be directly afflicted in many ways, at all its levels. The real estate market could reach its lowest level but, at the same time, it is possible to recover in an unexpected manner, due to the discovery of many old/natural and very healthy building techniques. Our energetic auras could be very intensely energized, many modalities of direct communication with the astral worlds could appear; they could be felt as very positive for those of us who already practice spirituality constantly. Those who have never been interested in developing themselves spiritually in a conscious manner could feel such experiences as being negative or frightening. The people could gather in spiritual families or, on the contrary, many of them could give up spirituality due to many karmic limitations. The spiritual results of this period could be impressive, because they could lead us to the awakening of the soul, the revealing the Self and the direct heart to heart communication with God our Father. Many of us could experience the truth expressed by Blaise Pascal (in his words): “God is a sphere having its center everywhere and its borders nowhere”.

The spiritual guides could be persecuted (we know very well that none is a prophet in his/her country) but at the same time many of those who initially persecuted them could gather with those who really want the spiritual teachers to come back to their home. Those who are already initiated spiritually and want to use their initiation, those who practice the divinatory arts and all the therapists of complementary therapies are advised to practice their auric field protections for 49 days long before Lilith’s entrance the Sign of Cancer. This spiritual practice could protect them against any kind of negative energetic attacks and the spontaneous karmic taking charges, which could be very strong.

mai-noiembrie 2014 – Jupiter and Lilith transit together the zodiacal Sign of Leo

We can say that such an interval is the final struggle between Good and Evil. It will take place at the highest levels of our society, having as its real motivation the concepts of “leader” and “power” which are so deeply altered today. But, generally speaking, the test of power will be a test for each of us, it doesn’t matter which is our place inside the human society and our role for it at such a moment. We will be tested from the Divine point of view if we will have learnt to abandon ourselves to the Divine Will and follow it. We will know the real spiritual guides of our planet, because an authentic spiritual guide has unique spiritual feature which is missing to all other inhabitants of the Earth: he acts permanently in full agreement with the God’s Will. That’s why his actions seem to be very difficult to be understood. It is not us but only he who knows very well the Divine Will.

At the same time, the test of power will be accompanied by the test of love. The disciples totally abandoned to their spiritual guides will have the revelation of their guides’ love for them and will understand how many dangers their spiritual guides protected them from during such periods of tests. Those disciples who, on the contrary, contested their spiritual guides’ behaviour and judged them could remain for ever alone in front of life, because the spiritual guides could take back the given spiritual protection and investment. Art, love, relationships between mature people and children, demography, the “power” concept and the social hierarchies could be rehabilitated in a divine manner, due to the direct manifestation of Divine/Godly Love in the plan of the Earth.
